Unoji

Unoji’s eel rice is a good choice for diners who want to savour the eel itself rather than have the sauce take centre stage. Visitors describe it as light and fragrant, with a sauce that is not too strong and allows the eel’s flavour to come through simply. Those who have tried the Bando Taro eel rice also praise the generous thickness of the eel, its tender texture and the balance of the sauce. Some opt for the premium eel rice to make eel the focus of the meal, whether for a solo lunch or a little indulgence.

Yakitori is another option to enjoy while you wait for the eel rice. Taking a pause over beer before moving on to the main dish can make for a leisurely meal. Grilled eel liver is also on the menu, though visitors say it is available in limited quantities; if it is a particular favourite, it may be worth asking when you book.

This eel restaurant in Honancho offers both dine-in and takeaway, with lunch and dinner service. It is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
